Using the random number generator on my IPOD touch we came up with a winner for the recent book giveaway. David is the winner. He posted:
I have traveled through many eras of gardening. I started with my mothers's way of row crop planting with lots of weed pulling, hoeing, and watering. I progressed through that to row crop with mulching, then on to double dug beds with mulching and composting. Some time about two decades ago I stumbled across a young lady who was had just ended life a few years before named Ruth Stout. She claimed you didn't have to work hard at gardening but just pile up the mulch very deep and plant. Lasagna gardening and layer gardening all stems from Ruth's methods. Some would say that her garden looked like piles of weeds in the backyard but the produce she grew in those mulch piles would rival any modern day method. My style is a little modified and has a little more work involved but I never lost the pile it high mulch method. The two books that influenced me the most are called "How to Have a Green Thumb Without an Aching Back and Gardening Without Work." Have a great garden planning day.
Congratulations to David. Thanks to everyone else for posting. I have a lot of books that I want to read now. We will add a book list to our site soon based on all of your recommendations.
David,in order to get your book, please email us your address at backyardfarmingblog@gmail.com and we will mail you your new cookbook.
Oh, my goodness!! I can't believe I won the Farm House Cookbook. This is a special Christmas present indeed. I travel with a group of volunteers that work on churches all across the Midwest and my favorite thing is to get a church cookbook that has been put together by the church members of all their best recipes. To have this book is truly a treat. Thank you so much.
